Hi,

I was looking at JP's performance, and I'm amazed at how well the film did overall, but especially during its first two weeks. The film's hold both during the weekends and the weekdays is simply amazing.


Take a look at its run (adjusted, obviously):

Now, you gotta admit, that is some pretty amazing stuff. \:D/

Thats the lost world's first weekend.

Yup, truly a giant of a film.

Neo, it's JP1's adjusted gross, not the actual amount.


TLW's Op. 3-day, btw, is $100.4m adjusted

Truthfully no surprise as it is one of the older movies still hanging on to a spot on the top grossing chart

1 Titanic Par. $600,788,188 1997
2 Star Wars Fox $460,998,007 1977
3 Shrek 2 DW $441,226,247 2004
4 E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial Uni. $435,110,554 1982
5 Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace Fox $431,088,301 1999
6 Spider-Man Sony $403,706,375 2002
7 The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King NL $377,027,325 2003
8 Spider-Man 2 Sony $373,585,825 2004
9 The Passion of the Christ NM $370,782,930 2004
10 Jurassic Park Uni. $357,067,947 1993

Oh.

It truly had a great run.I expect a similar run by WOTW.

The good old days, when a film could break the weekend record and get a multiplier over 7.

Then again, they couldn't open with 100m+.

It's the only pre-1997 movie without any re-releases that remains in the top 10. Amazingly, though, E.T. would still be slightly ahead of it unadjusted even after you take away the re-releases.

Jurassic Park will soon be bumped out of the top 10 by RotS, 12 years after its release. I wonder what the top 10 will look like 12 years from now...

1. Titanic
2. Star Wars Episode VII in 3-D: Jar Jar in Your Face
3. Shrek 4
4. Spider-Man 3
5. The Hobbit
6. Spider-Man 4
7. Shrek 3
8. Spider-Man 5
9. Untitled James Cameron 3-D project with $500 million budget to be shot on Uranus
10. Spider-Man 6

Probably something like that.

Vocabulary Masturbation.

That is amazing, too bad the movie wasn't very good thought it was for when it was made.

=;

Not for long.

When it was made? You speak as if it was produced in 1937.

[-X

It was one of the first movies to use HUGE special effects.

Star Wars? Terminator 2?

King Kong? The King of Thieves? Metropolis?

Okay, really, really, really realisic looking effects :razz:

You said it was good for when it was made. I don't understand your comment. How old were you in 1993?

Birth of Nation? The Original Ben Hur? Little Shop of Horrors? Plan 9?

Great run. Great movie. This movie came out when I was 2. :razz:
